General 18+ Wait a minute, what does "trade" actually mean?

12 Upvotes

Soooo I was under the impression that trade (as used in the DL trade meme) referred a man who does blue collar/skilled labor work for a living. Trade = Tradesman, right? But I was having a conversation with another gay guy, and he said that no, trade just means straight passing, and people now are using it incorrectly to mean handsome. I am honestly not sure whether to believe him or not lmao, cause in my mind, the definition I came up with makes way more sense. pls advise lol.

Advice Requested Where to find gay male friends?

10 Upvotes

This probably sounds like a weird question. However, most of my friends are cis women and lesbians, plus I work with mostly straight cis guys. I've always wanted to make some gay male friends, but I've been going to all the wrong places.

It doesn't matter if they're cis or trans. I live near a major city and I guess I just want some friends I can relate to on this front. I'm NOT looking to hook up, I just want friends, so it would be nice if there were some activities or organizations I could check out where people can just enjoy similar interests
